Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to cook borscht with beets and pork? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. To prepare borscht, you can use any part of pork. I use pork on the bone, which makes the broth rich and flavorful. Peel all vegetables in advance and rinse in running water to remove dirt.

Step 2

Step 2
Pour water over the pork, put it on the fire and bring to a boil. When boiling, foam will appear — it must be skimmed off. Cook the meat for 1-1.5 hours until soft. Then remove the meat from the bone, cut into pieces and return to the strained broth.

Step 3

Step 3
Cut the peeled potatoes into small pieces and place in the pan with the meat.

Step 4

Step 4
Chop the cabbage thinly and place it in the pan after the potatoes. Leave to cook for 15-20 minutes.

Step 5

Step 5
Finely chop the onion and grate the carrots. Pour a little vegetable oil into a hot frying pan and add carrots and onions. Fry everything together for 2-3 minutes. You can immediately add grated red beets and fry everything together. Or you can do it separately.

Step 6

Step 6
Place the roast into the pan.

Step 7

Step 7
Place the grated beets in the same frying pan. Fry it for 5-7 minutes over low heat.

Step 8

Step 8
The beets will shrink slightly in size. Add sugar to it. Stir.

Step 9

Step 9
Next add tomato paste. Warm the beets with tomato paste for 2-3 minutes and place everything in a saucepan. Add salt and spices to taste. Add a couple of cloves of garlic, passed through a press. You can add bay leaf for flavor.

Step 10

Step 10
Bring the borscht to a boil and remove from heat. No need to boil! Otherwise, the borscht will lose color. Let the borscht sit under the lid for at least 15-20 minutes to let it settle. Bon appetit!
